Riassunto

The attitudes and aims of Charles Dickens as a novelist, and the underpinnings of his literary work, were founded on a faith in the moral creeds of Christianity. This beautifully written short rendition of the gospels, set down for his children, is illuminating for the reader interested in his literary outlook and Christians interested in the Unitarianism of Dickens.

This new edition of 'The Life of Our Lord' by Charles Dickens contains the foreword by Dickens' daughter, Mamie, the original foreword to the American edition published by Simon and Schuster, and a new afterword by Tim Dalgleish.

This book, as Mamie wrote, was 'the last work of Charles Dickens to be published, [and] has an individual interest and purpose that separate it completely from everything else that Dickens wrote.. the manuscript [was] peculiarly personal to the novelist, and is not so much a revelation of his mind as a tribute to his heart and humanity' and the editor adds,

'It’s perhaps not a surprise that a great novelist was drawn to recapturing the spirit of the New Testament for his children. Words were his trade. The immediate Christianity of ‘the book’ rather than the religion of the world was what compelled the writing, by hand, of this account of the life of Jesus Christ... Dickens had no particular interest in following church edicts or publicly professing his faith. In fact, such an attitude was antithetical to his outlook.'
